Send a VM to multiple mailboxes

[Sambooka]

Not sure why he wants to do this but our support supervisor would like to send voicemail to multiple users. Can this be done? I thought it could but spent the aft getting nowhere.

Thoughts?
Thanks

You can do it by using the send vm to email and putting everyone who needs it in a email group.

Or just give evryone access to the VM box and put a notification key on their phones. Issue will be who dletes it(maybe the one who listens and acts on the info?)

What kind of voicemail?

Doesn't sound like it is a Nupoint where you can just go into the mailbox and give a message to a user or group of users.

I'd tell you a UDP joke but I'm afraid you won't get it. TCP jokes are the best because you always get them.

Through the sender's MB, create a distribution list. I thinks it's 8 for user's options and I think 5 for distribution lists.

Yup distribution list

Or can be done on the fly from users own mailbox

Make message feature

Still have not heard what VM he is talking about or am I missing something.

Sorry for the confusion.

The user wants to record a new message and send it to multiple users in one shot.

I can create a dlist but dont see how to specify it as the recipient...

 

[kwbMitel]

Log into mailbox
press 6 - Make Message
Dial reciepient number(s)
Record message

You don`t see how to specify - Where are you looking

Reading the helpfile in nupoint messenger.. that is where I can create the DList

I log in.. Dial 6 .. put in the number of my DList and it says "that is not a valid mailbox number

 

[kwbMitel]

Nupoint huh, may I refer you to loopylou's repeated requests for a voicemail type?

Garbage in garbage out

Don't take this too personally but for me we've reached the RTFM point. I will simply point out that there is a different process for using system distribution lists vs personal lists. I've also already mentioned how it can be done without lists at all

Happy hunting

[Sambooka]

sorry.. I am not reading the right manual then..

What do you mean by VM type?

 

[kwbMitel]

Nupoint vs embedded voicemail vs other vendor voicemail

[Sambooka]

Ok.. sorry.. gotcha.

Yes.. we are using Nupoint 4.2, not the embeded vm server

 

[kwbMitel]

I don't have a manual available to me right now for the nupoint.

I am very confident what you are looking for is in the help files on the nupoint

Using System distribution lists requires you to enter prefix digits to designate that you are using a system distribution list rather than a personal distribution list or mailbox number.

I could tell you what I think it is but I really think you should look it up and be sure.

Might also want to verify the necessary FCOS options re giving are set in the mailboxes FCOS. Have done this a number of times and its pretty simple. Create the distribution list and when you do a give it should be able to accept the list number. As kwbMitel says system lists and user lists are numbered different. System typically are 3 digits and user 2 ( i.e 001 to 999 and 01 to 99 ). Don't think you have the ability to give to a distribution list and thats why it is looking for a mailbox number.
